I could if I didn't have a train collection!

2 actually! One is the G scale LGB trains, the other is the wooden Thomas the Tank Engine collection.

Thomas the Tank Engine?!?



You laugh?!?

I have (and am the original owner of) the "Holy Grail" of TTTE!....Sir Topham Hatt's Car!!!!
First generation WITH the box, both in MINT condition.
Could probably get $300 for it on eBay.
That's ONE character.
I have the whole Island of Sodor! And most of it is installed in my daughters' room.
As in on a shelf that runs around the entire room. With track that runs all the way around so you can set the battery powered loco on and it goeas round & round the room. There are buildings and many other characters all the way around. The blue sky ceiling extends down the walls a bit and has scenery painted behind the layout.
The rest of their room is custom painted pink & purple.

And the LGB...I have train cars that cost as much as nice bikes I've had.
Somewhere down the line I hope to install a backyard track for it all. Yeah...someday.

I must say, I'm not just a member of Bicycles Anonymous, but Collectors Anonymous as well.

Say, did I mention my RoadKill Collection?

NO silly, not dead critters!

Loose coins!

When cycling, I always stop for money on the ground. It's a personal testing of Matthauser brake pads.
Will I find enough money to buy new pads before the old ines wear out. (from stopping all the time to pick up stray coins)

That's about all the derailing I have time for.
I'm going to go bake some Snickerdoodles.

(red & green ones of course)
